Spay and Neuter For Dogs and Cats in Rensselaer, IN and Surrounding Areas
Dog and cat spay and neuter surgery is one the most common procedures we perform at our mobile vet animal hospital in Rensselaer. If you don’t plan to use your pet for breeding, we recommend that you have them spayed (females) or neutered (males). The best time to have these procedures performed is when pets are puppies or kittens.
Mobile Dog and Cat Spay and Neuter Services
As with all our surgeries, PetVets on the Go can perform your dog or cat’s spay or neuter procedure in our state-of-the-art mobile vet clinic. Each week, we park in one of three locations to better serve our rural community. If your pet is in need of surgery, contact us at 219-869-0097 to schedule their procedure in Rensselaer at StockVets, Monticello at Rural King, or Wheatfield at Napa. Dog and cat spay and neuter surgeries are minimally invasive, but our arrangement with area businesses allow time for your pet to comfortably recover in our clinic.
Your pet’s safety is always our priority. Therefore, we fully examine each pet before an operation to avoid any possible complications. To ensure they’re completely at ease, pets are given pain medication before, during, and after their procedure. In addition to pain measures we take, a trained technician monitors your pet’s vital signs at all times.
Combating Pet Overpopulation
Unfortunately, thousands of companion animals end up in shelters each year. Many of these stray animals will, sadly, never find a forever home. Therefore, we recommend preventing unwanted pet pregnancies with spay and neuter surgery. By eliminating your pet’s chances of contributing to the overpopulation in shelters, you give the animals currently in them better odds of being adopted!
